BBC reports: "Damian Lewis brought a touch of Homeland to Buckingham House on Wednesday as he received his OBE from the Duke of Cambridge. The 43-year-old, who will seen next year as Henry VIII in the BBC's dramatisation of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall, was recognised for services to drama in the Queen's Birthday Honours."
Here is a few pics from the ceremony with Damian Lewis and the Duke of Cambridge.
From Press Association News Report:
Damian Lewis, who was joined at the Palace by his actress wife Helen McCrory, said: "I remember when I heard I was being awarded it, it was a little bit like 'now you've got to prove it'.
"It was a bit like being asked to be a prefect, now I have to be extremely responsible."
Prince William revealed he and wife Kate are avid watchers of Homeland, the popular drama about Lewis' character, a US marine rescued after being held captive in Iraq, and CIA officer Carrie Mathison, played by Claire Danes, who believes he has been turned by al Qaida. His character recently made a dramatic reappearance in the show after being killed off in the previous series.
Speaking about his brief chat with the Duke, Damian revealed: "He said 'Catherine and I are huge Homeland fans'.
"He said 'you appeared again the other night briefly, and we all got very excited,' which is true, but it was also on Sunday night which means he is absolutely up to date with the latest episode and I'm amazed they have time for that."
And, here is Damian Lewis post-ceremony, with his wife Helen McCrory, showing his OBE.
